TODAY’S TALKER

Police: Errant hammer throw The daily during warm-ups killed student TWEET

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago college student who was accidentally killed during a hammer throw event was struck by an errantly thrown hammer while standing near the field during warm-ups, authorities said Monday.

The hammer – a steel wire attached to a heavy metal ball that can weigh as much as 16 pounds – struck 19-year-old Wheaton College freshman Ethan Roser in the head during Saturday’s meet, said Bill Murphy, Wheaton’s deputy police chief. Roser, of Cincinnati, was volunteering at the meet and was going to measure the throws.

An autopsy conducted Monday by the DuPage County Coroner’s office determined, as expected, that the preliminary cause of death was head trauma.

Murphy said investigators would continue to look into whether there was any criminal negligence, but that they don’t suspect there was any. Wheaton College declined to say whether it would conduct its own investigation.

Students at the Christian college about 25 miles west of Chicago gathered after the meet to pray for Roser, who transferred there in January from a school in Cincinnati.

“It was time for us to come together and re-

“We’re having a really hard time saying goodbye and letting go.”

Mark Roser

Father of Ethan Roser ally turn to God in this tough time,” student Phoebe Morris said.

Roser spent much of his childhood in Zimbabwe, where his parents were missionaries, and he was deeply religious.

His mother, Pat Roser, said Ethan’s faith played a big role in how he dealt with a leg injury in high school and in his decision to attend Wheaton.

“That just totally changed him, and he wanted to go and tell other young people about God,” she said “That’s what he was doing at Wheaton.”

Roser’s father, the Rev. Mark Roser, described his son as “just a really special kid” who considered his family members to be his best friends.

“We’re having a really hard time saying goodbye and letting go,” he said. “We know God’s in control, and he works everything out even though it’s beyond our comprehension.”

LOCAL BRIEF Metra to test letting pets on weekday trains during less busy hours

Metra has announced that any pet that can fit in a small carrier is welcome to ride weekday Metra trains at certain hours starting May 1.

Metra is testing an expansion of its pet program, which previously allowed for small pets only on Metra holiday and weekend trains.

The expansion will allow pets on weekday trains arriving in Chicago before 6:31 a.m. as well as after 9:30 a.m. and on weekday trains departing from Chicago before 3 p.m. and after 7 p.m.

Metra began looking into allowing pets on trains after it was presented with a petition in 2013, according to a news release.

“So far, our pet policy has been successful,”

WHERE IT’S AT

Metra CEO Don Orseno said in the release. “It just makes sense to test if we can expand it and make travel by train an even more attractive and convenient choice for these customers.”

Metra will evaluate the expanded policy after a six-month trial period to decide whether it should be fully implemented.

Pet owners must abide by several rules when their pets are on board.

Rules include carriers being able to fit in a passenger’s lap or under the seat at all times, not taking up seats or seating areas and not blocking pathways on trains.

Metra reserves the right to remove any passenger with pets that are noisy or disturb other passengers.

DISTRACTED DRIVING Police departments aim to educate public, enforce safer road habits

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – McHenry County area police departments are working to put an end to distracted driving.

Since the 2014 ban on the use of all handheld devices while driving, Crystal Lake police made about 850 stops in both 2014 and 2015 and 1,826 stops in 2016 for illegal cellphone use. The stops consists of a combination tickets and warnings.

“So a thousand more stops alone last year for distracted driving,” Crystal Lake Deputy Chief Derek

Hyrkas said. “And that doesn’t mean necessarily that people are doing it more, it just means that maybe our officers are paying more attention to it. We’re really trying to concentrate more on distracted driving.”

In an attempt to stop distracted driving from occurring, several local police departments are participating in Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week from April 24-28.

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police recently asked Gov. Bruce Rauner to declare the end of April as Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week in an effort to bring attention to the dangers and consequences

associated with driving distracted.

The awareness week is taking place toward the end of Distracted Driving Awareness Month in the U.S. Throughout the week, police departments are setting up special enforcement zones in attempt to educate drivers on the dangers of distracted driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,477 people nationwide were killed and an estimated 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2015. That is a 9 percent increase in fatalities as compared with the year before.

Huntley Village Police Department officers have issued 28 distracted driving citations so far in 2017 regarding cellphone use.

However, Huntley Deputy Chief Michael Klunk said it can be difficult to determine whether a crash, even a fatal one, was due to distracted driving.

“It is a serious impact on the safety of our drivers, on the safety on our community, if somebody is talking on the phone and not paying attention to the direction of where their vehicles are going,” Klunk said.

Silt fencing was turned into a protest sign near the intersection of Barrett Drive and Longmeadow Parkway in Algonquin. Algonquin mayor John Schmitt made light of the federal stop-work order.

Algonquin village president’s bee joke offends some project opponents

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – A judge’s order to halt work on the Longmeadow Parkway road project over the possible presence of an endangered bumblebee has resulted in two headaches for Village President John Schmitt.

The first for the staunch supporter of the project, who has taken a lot of the heat from opponents, is the halt itself, and wondering whether the judge will extend the halt order this Friday.

The other is a Facebook post that Schmitt said was in self-deprecating fun but that opponents didn’t find funny.

In the wake of last week’s ruling, Schmitt changed his profile picture to his head attached to the body of a bee.

He has since taken it down.

“I’d rather not talk about it. It was lighthearted, a self-deprecating picture of myself. It certainly wasn’t meant to be insulting. If anybody or any species took offense to it, I sincerely apologize, but I certainly didn’t do it to be insulting,” Schmitt said.

But to Laura Brehmer, an opponent of the project who was one of two candidates who rode that discontent to seats on the Village Board in the April 4 election, it wasn’t a gaffe so much as evidence that Schmitt and other officials don’t take opponents’ concerns seriously.

“This village has done everything to make sure that this is not going to be injurious to the people of Algonquin, and it’s not going to be. This is a piece of infrastructure that will dramatically improve the quality of life for the village, and every community surrounding it.”

John Schmitt

Algonquin village president “I think it was a real error in judgment. It’s not a laughing matter,” Brehmer said.

Work on the parkway started near Randall Road in Algonquin on April 17, but ended several hours later after U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman granted an emergency stop requested by opponents who said the planned route includes a habitat of the endangered rusty patched bumblebee.

Coleman’s order is in effect until Friday, when a status hearing is scheduled. Algonquin has turned over control of more than $3 million worth of land to the project, Schmitt said.

Plans call for a four-lane, 5.6-mile east-west corridor connecting Randall Road with Route 62, although it starts west of Randall Road at the intersection of Huntley and Boyer roads. The $115 million project, complete with a toll bridge over the Fox River, will go through Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unin-

corporated areas of Kane County.

But while proponents call the project a necessary measure to ease congestion, opponents include environmental groups and homeowners along the project path who allege it will decrease their quality of life.

Schmitt pointed to Friday night’s rescue of boaters stalled under the Route 62 bridge over the Fox River and headed for the nearby low-head dam as an example of why the parkway is needed.

The bridge was shut down for the duration of the rescue, Schmitt said, stranding motorists all the way back to Barrington Hills because of no nearby alternate route to cross.

“This village has done everything to make sure that this is not going to be injurious to the people of Algonquin, and it’s not going to be. This is a piece of infrastructure that will dramatically

John Koziol sworn in as Marengo mayor, calls for executive session

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com MARENGO – The city’s new mayor was sworn in Monday and already has top administration issues on his mind.

The city sat John Koziol before a crowded City Hall room Monday, and one of his first moves as mayor was to call for an executive session to discuss personnel issues specific to city administrator Gary Boden and city attorney Carlos Arevalo.

Koziol thanked his family, supporters and incumbent Don Lockhart for his terms served as mayor to the city.

“Twelve years as mayor is a lot dedicated to the city,” he said. “It doesn’t go unnoticed.”

Koziol defeated incumbent Lockhart in the April 4 election, coming in with 480 votes to Lockhart’s 391.

Challenger John Arient trailed with 231 votes.

Koziol said he wanted residents to give him a chance to earn their respect and promised to work “tirelessly” in the coming four years.

“I have stated many times throughout this campaign that it takes everyone to work together,” he said. “I take that statement very seriously.

Are we going to have disagreements?

Of course we are. Disagreements and conflict are healthy. But we need to have them with the utmost respect and professionalism.”

Marengo resident Terri Paulauski said that she hoped for transparency

and open communication under the Koziol administration.

“I am looking forward to Mayor Koziol spending some time getting to know the specifics of things that are not available to the public,” she said. “I know he will take the time to read through the details on the specific status of the city and report back to the community because that is something he has been talking about through his campaign.”

Aldermen Dennis Hammortree, Matt Keenum, Mike Miller, Steve Mortensen and Nicole DeBoer were also sworn in Monday. All were incumbents.

DeBoer won with a narrow lead of two votes. Challenger Raymond Knake said he plans to seek a recount.

dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 170 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours. Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving

SUGAR CREEK – A motorcyclist died Monday morning after crashing into a tree in Sugar Creek Township, according to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office.

Walworth County Sheriff’s deputies and Elkhorn Fire and Rescue personnel responded to the scene of the crash about 11:37 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Highway H and Sugar Creek Road, officials said.

Joshua Faber, 32, of Delavan, Wisconsin, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Walworth County Medical Examiner’s Office, the sheriff said.

Speed is thought to be a factor in the crash. An initial investigation shows Faber was riding east on Sugar Creek Road and didn’t stop at a stop sign at Highway H. He continued across the highway and went into a ditch and then hit the tree, officials said.

The investigation is ongoing.

improve the quality of life for the village, and every community surrounding it,” Schmitt said.

However, opponent Janis Jasper, who like Brehmer won a village board seat, questions that assessment. Besides the new environmental development, she said the data supporting the need for the parkway are dated to an era when the area was growing, and not today. Population growth in the collar counties has either been flat or shrinking since the 2010 U.S. Census, and Illinois has been leading all 50 states in outmigration.

“There are so many things about this project that really need a second look – to just put a pause on it and say, ‘We have some new evidence now, and an endangered species, the rusty patched bumblebee, that we now need to look at,” Jasper said.

The Algonquin Village Board has a Committee of the Whole meeting set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Village Hall, 2200 Harnish Drive. The Longmeadow Parkway issue is not on the board’s agenda for the meeting.

In 2012, Huntley police saw the lowest number of crashes in the village.

Since then, they have started to see a slow and steady increase, Klunk said.

“The vast majority of our crashes are rear-end crashes and a lot of those crashes are due to a distraction, whether it’s from an electronic device or other means,” Klunk said.

Several police departments, such as McHenry, Crystal Lake, Huntley and Lake in the Hills, are using social media to show the dangers of distracted driving to the younger generation.

Texting while driving has become an increasing problem among millennials as 16- to 24-year-olds have been using handheld electronic devices while driving at higher rates than older drivers since 2007, according to NHTSA. “A lot of young drivers use social media, so we have a Facebook video posted about our participation as a reminder to them,” said Amanda Schmitt, Lake in the Hills public information officer.

Lake in the Hills Police made 365 total citations/written warnings in 2016 for electronic communication

device violations, according to police records.

“Distracted driving has absolutely become a problem. And now people or kids will be out playing in their yards for summer break, bicycles and motorcycles will be out more, so we’d like drivers to be able to have their eyes on the roadway and not be distracted,” Schmitt said.

A pair of Chicago aldermen also want Chicago police to consider using new technology to help determine whether drivers involved in crashes had been texting.

Last week, Aldermen Ed Burke and Anthony Beale introduced a resolution for the police department

to being looking at using a so-called “Textalyzer” to enforce the city’s existing traffic laws or when investigating vehicle incidents.

The technology, which is still being developed by Israeli tech firm Cellebrite, would access a phone’s operating system to check whether it was being used to text, email or perform other functions during incidents of suspected distracted driving.

McHenry Police Deputy Chief John Birk said that while the Textalyzer technology isn’t on the city’s radar at this point, educating the public and changing their mindsets on distracted driving are just as important as enforcement.

Army and another in the Navy, said the banners will provide “a visual and moving display” that allows people to make a connection with men and women serving overseas.

“I thought it would be a wonderful way to honor Crystal Lake residents who are in service to our country,” she said.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12014, American Legion Post 171 and TLS Veterans are partnering with the city and the chamber. The chamber also is accepting sponsorships of banners to help defray the cost.

While the idea of honoring family members going off to war with a blue star dates back to World War I – the U.S. only participated in the last year and a half of the war – it became widespread in World War II, and gained popularity again following the Sept.

11, terror attacks.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Starting next month, a drive down part of Route 14 will be a reminder that freedom is protected by people willing to make sacrifices.

The Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the city and several veterans organizations, has started a program to honor deployed soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines with blue-star banners. The city is allowing the chamber the use of 16 light poles near its 427 W. Virginia St. offices.

Applications are being accepted now for the first banners to go up in May, Chamber President Mary Margaret Maule said.

“I think this is a great acknowledgement. Less than 1 percent of the population is willing to step forward and serve,” said Maule, whose husband spent 22 years in the Navy and has two children who followed his footsteps. “I think it’s a great way for the city to recognize the sacrifice of

families and the commitment of service members.”

The honor is open to anybody currently deployed with the Armed Forces who has a connection to Crystal Lake. The person does not have to be a resident – for example, the banners can honor a city employee who lives elsewhere, or a deployed Armed Forces member who never lived in Crystal Lake but has family here.

Applications are forwarded to a committee that will select which ones get honored. New banners will go up every May and January – they come down in November and December for the city’s Christmas decorations. Applications will be reviewed on a continual basis.

The idea was first presented to the City Council by 20-year resident Donna McAnally, who belongs to a military moms group.

When two group members said some towns in other states honor service members with blue star banners, McAnally decided that Crystal Lake should do it as well.

City Council rejects tattoo parlor proposal

By NATE LINHART

nlinhart@shawmedia.com McHENRY – The McHenry City Council denied a use variance Monday to allow a tattoo parlor and art studio on Main Street.

The McHenry City Council held its annual meeting Monday night, which was Sue Low’s last as mayor.

During the meeting, a motion was made

by Alderman Richard Wimmer to allow a tattoo parlor and art studio at 3940 W. Main St. subject to the condition that the use variance would expire and become null and void if the tattoo parlor use stops for a period of six consecutive months.

According to the meeting’s packet, the proposed use variance was submitted by Justin and Cory Murov of Spring Grove and would be located next to Claws and Paws.

Low expressed her support for the parlor before votes were cast.

“Many people of all ages now seek a

good, reputable, clean place that does tattoos,” Low said.

Although the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approving the use variance, it was rejected Monday by the City Council in a 4-2 vote.

Voting “no” were Aldermen Scott Curry, Andy Glab, Vic Santi and Jeffrey Schaefer. Voting “yes” were Aldermen Wimmer and Patrick Devine. This was Wimmer’s last meeting as alderman. Alderman Geri Condon was not in attendance.

In a separate matter, the McHenry City Council adopted the fiscal 2017-18 budget later in the meeting.

Council members unanimously approved a budget where the total expenditures of all funds is just more than $44.6 million.

“I’m very proud of staff and the council for the fact that it’s a balanced budget,” Schaefer said.

The city’s annual fiscal year budget covers the period of May 1 through April 30.

‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ author dies at 88

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Robert M. Pirsig, whose philosophical novel “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” became a million-selling classic and cultural touchstone after more than 100 publishers turned it down, died Monday at age 88.

Pirsig’s publishing house, William Morrow, announced that he died at his home in South Berwick, Maine.

He had been in failing health.

“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” was published in 1974 and was based on a motorcycle trip Pirsig took in the late 1960s with his 12-year-old son, Chris.

Like a cult favorite from the 1950s, Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” the book’s path to the best-seller list was long and unlikely. It began as an essay he wrote after he and Chris rode from Minnesota to the Dakotas and grew to a manuscript of hundreds of thousands of words.

After the entire industry seemed to shun it, William Morrow took on the book, with editor James Landis writing at the time that he found it “brilliant beyond belief.”

Pirsig’s novel was in part an ode to the motorcycle and how he saw the world so viscerally traveling on one,

many, many lovely dogs as well as meeting great friends, which she truly enjoyed.

She is survived by her beloved nephews MARY ANN FALCON and their wonderful families, Robert R. Born: January 4, 1933; in Chicago, IL (Sheryl) Williams (Eric/Sharon) and Kevin Died: April 21, 2017; in McHenry, IL B. (Cheryl) Smith (Kristine, Connor, Jenna).

She was preceded in death by her Mary Ann Falcon, age 84, passed away husband, her parents and loving sister, peacefully at home on April 21, 2017.

compared with the TV-like passivity of looking out at the window of a car.

“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” ideally suited a generation’s yearning for the open road, quest for knowledge and skepticism of modern values, while also telling a personal story about a father and son relationship and the author’s struggles with schizophrenia.

A world traveler and former philosophy student, Pirsig would blend his life and learning, and East and West, into what he called the Metaphysics of Quality.

“But some things are better than others, that is, they have more quality,” he wrote. “But when you try to say what the quality is, apart from the things that have it, it all goes poof!

There’s nothing to talk about. But if you can’t say what Quality is, how do you know what it is, or how do you know that it even exists? If no one knows what it is, then for all practical purposes it doesn’t exist at all. But for all practical purposes it really does exist.”

The book was praised as a unique and masterful blend of narrative and philosophy and was compared to “Moby Dick” by New Yorker critic George Steiner, who wrote that Pirsig’s story “lodges in the mind as few recent novels have.” Writing in The

TERENCE L. PINCH Born: July 11, 1929 Died: April 22, 2017

Terence “Terry” L. Pinch, 87, of Lake in the Hills, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on April 22, 2017.

He was born July 11, 1929, in England to Leslie and Violet (nee Collings) Pinch. Terry was a veteran of the United States Army where he served during the Korean War. He enjoyed boxing while he was in the Army.

Terry loved being by the water and enjoying sunny days on the beach. Terry met his wife, Maria, in Chicago at a Valentine’s Day Dance.

They were united in marriage on February 11, 1956, and celebrated 61 joyous years.

Terry will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Maria (nee DeIulis); his daughters, Terri (Kevin) Mylander and Kim (Brian) Harper;

New York Times, Edward Abbey was unsure how to categorize the book.

“Is ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ a novel or an autobiography?” he wondered. “In this case the distinction seems of no importance; maybe it never was. Call the book, as Pirsig himself does, an inquiry. Therein lies its singular energy and force.”

Pirsig’s response to his unexpected success was to step away from it. He avoided interviews and took 17 years to complete “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals,” the sequel to his best-seller.

“It is not good to talk about Zen because Zen is nothingness,” he told The Guardian in 2006. “If you talk about it you are always lying, and if you don’t talk about it no one knows it is there.”

A native of Minneapolis, Pirsig was a prodigy who at age 9 scored 170 on an IQ test and six years later graduated from high school. Army service in Korea at the end of World War II exposed him to Eastern thought and culture and profoundly influenced him.

He studied philosophy at the University of Minnesota, traveled to India and back in the states honed an enigmatic teaching style at Montana State College and at the University of Illinois, sometimes refusing to grade papers or asking students to grade each other.

grandchildren, Shannon (Matt) Green, Daniel Mylander, Cori (Zach) Williams, Kelsey (fiancé Conor Smith) and Taylor Harper; great-granddaughter, Lylah; siblings, Alan (Sherry) Gasteier and Judith (Roger) Mortimer. Many loving nieces, nephews and friends also survive. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Trevor.

Memorial visitation will be held on Friday, April 28, from 10:00 AM until the Celebration of Life service at 11:00 AM at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Rte. 176), Crystal Lake, IL 60014.

Obama discusses leadership at Chicago event

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former President Barack Obama used his first public appearance since leaving office to dole out advice to young people on leadership, managing social media and even marriage. What he didn’t do was mention his successor.

At a forum Monday for students at the University of Chicago, adjacent to where his presidential library will stand, Obama talked about his formative experiences as a community organizer and as a young politician running for office in Illinois. But for much of the panel event, he listened.

“Although there are all kinds of issues that I care about and all kinds of issues that I intend to work on, the single most important thing I can do is to help in any way I can to prepare the next generation of leadership to take up the baton and take their own crack at changing the world,” Obama said during event, which was invite-only and streamed live online.

He told the hundreds of area students in the audience that his focus after holding the nation’s highest office will be civic engagement with young people, and he that he hopes his presidential library, which will stand near the edge of campus, will be part of that

Lawmakers return from break facing budget issues

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers are returning to the Capitol this week to resume work on trying to end a budget stalemate that has eluded them for almost two years.

The State Journal-Register reported that just before lawmakers’ two-week spring break, the House approved another stopgap spending bill that would give more than $800 million to human-services programs and higher education.

But an overall Illinois budget remains a work in progress.

Issues include school funding reform, pension changes, a higher minimum wage and other matters that were part of the Senate’s “grand bargain.” Efforts to pass the Senate plan include a dozen intercon-

Since delivering his farewell address in his hometown of Chicago in January, Obama has kept a low profile.

He met privately Sunday with a group of at-risk young men, talking about

gang violence and opportunities for jobs.

His first public engagement Monday came as President Donald Trump neared his 100-day mark in office. But Obama shied away from addressing

nected bills that suffered a major setback when Republican support evaporated nearly overnight in early March.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who has been at odds with the Democratic-controlled Legislature, has said he believes a deal is close.

“We’re negotiating in the Senate right now. Democrats and Republicans are coming together,” Rauner said last week.

“We’re very close. We could get it done in the next couple of weeks.”

He also gave advice.

When a college student panelist asked how to conduct a project involving interviewing day laborers, Obama told him to ditch the clipboard. When others asked about being young in the age of social media, Obama advised them to limit photos posted online, including being “more circumspect about your selfies.”

He also dropped in a marital tidbit, saying it’s best to “listen to understand” instead of listening “to respond.”

“I learned that in marriage,” he said to laughs from the audience. “That’ll save you a lot of heartache and grief.”

He encouraged students to talk to people who have opposing viewpoints, asking a college Republican panelist to discuss his campus experiences.

Obama said his work as a young organizer, which included meeting with Chicago public housing residents, laid the foundation for his time in office. He said he’s been reflecting as he works on a book chronicling his political career.

“This community gave me a lot more than I was able to give in return,” he said. “This community taught me that everybody has a story to tell that is important.”

Flooding delays work on bridge over Illinois River

MEREDOSIA – Flooding has delayed progress on a new bridge that will span the Illinois River at Meredosia in the western part of the state.

The Quincy Herald-Whig reported that the bridge project was scheduled to be finished next year, but Halverson Construction Superintendent Scott Halverson said now that date is 2019.

Halverson said high waters caused by two recent floods have meant it’s taking longer for soil to compact in the construction area. The new bridge will replace a deteriorating two-lane bridge that was built in 1936. The bridge takes traffic across the river on Route 104.

Trump admin sanctions 271 Donald Trump.

The International Space Station’s in Syrian chemical attack

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration issued sanctions Monday on 271 people linked to the Syrian agency responsible for producing nonconventional weapons, part of an ongoing U.S. crackdown on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons.

The sanctions target employees of Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center, which the U.S. says partly enables the use of chemical weapons. The U.S. has blamed Assad for an attack earlier this month that killed more than 80 civilians in rebel-held northern Idlib.

“The United States is sending a strong message with this action: That we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons by any actor,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told reporters at the White House Monday. He said it was one of the largest such sanctions actions in U.S. history.

As a result of Monday’s action, any property or interest in property of the individuals’ sanctioned must be blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.

Trump a long way from most 100-days promises

By JILL COLVIN and CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Sure enough, the big trans-Pacific trade deal is toast, climate change action is on the ropes and various regulations from the Obama era have been scrapped. It’s also a safe bet President Donald Trump hasn’t raced a bicycle since Jan. 20, keeping that vow.

Add a Supreme Court justice – no small feat – and call these promises kept.

But where’s that wall? Or the promised trade punishment against China – will the Chinese get off scot-free from “the greatest theft in the history of the world”? What about that “easy” replacement for Obamacare? How about the trillion-dollar infrastructure plan and huge tax cut that were supposed to be in motion by now?

Trump’s road to the White House, paved in big, sometimes impossible pledges, has detoured onto a byway of promises deferred or left behind, an AP analysis found.

Of 38 specific promises Trump made in his 100-day “contract” with voters – “This is my pledge to you” – he’s accomplished 10, mostly through executive orders that don’t require legislation, such as withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

He’s abandoned several and failed to deliver quickly on others, stymied at times by a divided Republican Party and resistant federal judges. Of 10 promises that require Congress to act, none has been achieved and most have not been introduced.

“I’ve done more than any other president in the first 100 days,” the president bragged in a recent interview with AP, even as he criticized the marker as an “artificial barrier.”

In truth, his 100-day plan remains mostly a to-do list that will spill over well beyond Satur-

day, his 100th day.

Some of Trump’s promises were obviously hyperbole to begin with. Don’t hold your breath waiting for alleged Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl to be dropped out of an airplane without a parachute, as Trump vowed he’d do at many of his campaign rallies. China’s leader got a fancy dinner, complete with “beautiful” chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago this month, not the promised “McDonald’s hamburger” and humble pie.

But many promises were meant to be taken seriously. Trump clearly owes his supporters a Mexico border wall, even if it doesn’t end up being a foot taller than the Great Wall of China.

One page of his 100-day manifesto is devoted to legislation he would fight to pass in 100 days.

None of it has been achieved.

The other page lists 18 executive actions and intentions he promised to pursue – many on Day One. He has followed through on fewer than a dozen, largely through the use of executive orders, and the White House is boasting that he will set a post-World War II record when he signs more this week.

That’s a change in tune.

“We need people in Washington that don’t go around signing executive orders because they can’t get people into a room and get some kind of a deal that’s negotiated,” he declared in New Hampshire in March 2015. “We need people that know how to lead, and we don’t have that. We have amateurs.”

Efforts to provide affordable child care and paid maternity leave, to make college more affordable and to invest in urban areas have been all but forgotten. That’s despite the advantage of a Republican-controlled Congress, which the White House failed to pull together behind Trump’s first attempt to repeal and replace “Obamacare.”

Trump backs away from demand for border wall money

By ERICA WERNER and ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump stepped back Monday from demanding a down payment for his border wall in must-past spending legislation, potentially removing a major obstacle to a bipartisan deal just days ahead of a government shutdown deadline.

Trump told a gathering of around 20 conservative media reporters Monday evening that he would be willing to return to the wall funding issue in September, according to two people who were in the room. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the get-together, which originally was not intended to be on the record.

The border wall money is fiercely opposed by Democrats, whose votes are needed to pass the government-wide spending legislation that comes due Friday at midnight. The wall also is unpopular with many Republicans, and GOP negotiators on Capitol Hill were uneasy about the clash over the wall potentially sparking a government shutdown.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, who has a key role providing Democratic votes to pass

the legislation, welcomed Trump’s reported shift on the wall.

“It’s good for the country that President Trump is taking the wall off the table in these negotiations,” Schumer said late Monday. “Now the bipartisan and bicameral negotiators can continue working on the outstanding issues.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said, “The president’s comments this evening are welcome news given the bipartisan opposition to the wall, and the obstacle it has been to the continuing bipartisan negotiations in the appropriations committees.”

The wall was the most pressing issue confronting lawmakers as they returned from a two-week spring recess to face a critical deadline. Congress must pass a $1 trillion catch-all spending bill to pay for all agencies of government or trigger a partial shutdown Saturday, which happens to coincide with the 100th day of Trump’s presidency.

“I’m optimistic. I don’t think anybody wants a shutdown,” Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said as he exited a meeting of GOP leadership. “The White House and basically the minority leaders of the House and Senate have to have some level of agreement on the things that you’re adding.”

The negotiations over the spending

bill took center stage Monday despite a separate White House push for fast action to revive health care legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. After signaling last week that they hoped for a vote as soon as this week on a rewritten health bill, White House officials softened their stance Monday. Echoing the views of House GOP leaders, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said there would be a vote on health care legislation when House leaders count the 216 votes needed to pass it.

“I think we want to make sure that we’ve got the votes and we’re headed in the right direction before putting some artificial deadline,” Spicer said.

Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan were embarrassed last month when they had to pull their “Obamacare” replacement bill off the floor without a vote as it became clear it would fail. Since then, leaders of conservative and moderate factions in the House have been negotiating on a compromise allowing states to opt out of certain “Obamacare” requirements, and they appear to be making progress, although legislative text had not been finalized as of Monday.

The original GOP bill eliminated many of the “Obamacare” mandates, offered skimpier subsidies for consumers

to buy care and rolled back a Medicaid expansion. Conservatives balked, saying it didn’t go far enough.

With Democrats unanimously opposed, it remains to be seen whether the health care deal will come together and attract the needed support. Trump talked it up on Twitter, writing Monday: “If our healthcare plan is approved, you will see real healthcare and premiums will start tumbling down. ObamaCare is in a death spiral!”

Trump also pushed for his border wall, a central campaign pledge that he still insists Mexico will pay for in the end, though Democrats and even most Republicans doubt that will ever come to pass. Cost estimates range past $20 billion and the White House had been seeking $1.4 billion as a down payment in the spending bill.

Trump turned again to Twitter: “The Wall is a very important tool in stopping drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth (and many others)! If the wall is not built, which it will be, the drug situation will NEVER be fixed the way it should be! #BuildTheWall.”

But some of the conservative journalists who met Monday evening with Trump reported he said wall funding could wait until the fall.

PARIS – France’s established parties are rallying around the man who helped shut them out of the presidential runoff, maverick centrist Emmanuel Macron – an alliance of convenience aimed at keeping far-right Marine Le Pen out of the Elysee Palace.

Support for Macron also poured in Monday from the seat of the European Union, as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Jewish and Muslim groups troubled by Le Pen’s nationalist vision.

European stock markets surged, and France’s main index hit its highest level since early 2008, as investors gambled that the rise of populism around the world – and its associated unpredictability in policymaking – may have peaked.

For all the paeans to Macron’s unifying vision in divided times, it is now up to French voters to decide whether to entrust him with this nuclear-armed nation in the May 7 presidential runoff.

Polls consider him the front-runner, but that’s no guarantee that the French will come together to stop Le Pen the way they stopped her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, from reaching the presidency in

“both the danger of the isolation of France and of rupture with the European Union.”

Hollande said the far-right would “deeply divide France” at a time when the terror threat requires solidarity.

“Faced with such a risk, it is not possible to remain silent or to take refuge in indifference,” he said.

Voters narrowed the French presidential field from 11 to two in Sunday’s first-round vote, and losers from across the spectrum called on their supporters to choose Macron in round two. Only the defeated far-left candidate, Jean-Luc Melenchon, pointedly refused to back Macron.

The contest is widely seen as a litmus test for the populist wave that last year prompted Britain to vote to leave the European Union and U.S. voters to elect Donald Trump president.

Le Pen, meanwhile, is hoping to peel away voters historically opposed to her National Front Party, long tainted by racism and anti-Semitism.

On Monday, she took a step in that direction, announcing she was temporarily stepping down as party leader, a move that appeared to be aimed at drawing a wider range of potential voters and was in keeping with her efforts in recent years to garner broader support from the left and right.

OUR VIEW

Training will help officials Voters elected a swath of newcomers to local governing boards this April. Getting elected is no small feat, so congratulations are in order. So is training.

To that end, the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office is hosting a free seminar for elected officials that will cover government transparency, efficiency and ethics. We encourage politicians of all stripes, and especially neophytes, to attend. You’ll be going to a lot of meetings as an elected official, and this is a way to begin learning about these important facets of governing.

“While each public body faces different challenges and issues, transparency and a strong ethical foundation are essential to all governmental bodies,” McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Patrick Kenneally said in a statement.

The seminar is at 6 p.m. Thursday in Conference Rooms A and B at the McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

Newly elected officials also are required to take Open Meetings Act training through the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. This is critical online training that shouldn’t be put off.

As an elected official, you’ve been put in a position of trust. People are watching and will hold you accountable for how you vote, govern and behave in office. You’ve been chosen as a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. We also expect you to be transparent and honest. Illinois has a rich history of political corruption and shady dealings. McHenry County is no exception: • In 2013, the Oakwood Hills Village Board’s closed-door talks about building a power plant in town inspired a new state law. The lesson here: If you want to build something in your town that’s controversial, don’t try to hide it.

• In 2009, McHenry County College trustees parted ways with the college’s president, and its elected officials lied about why. At first, college officials and board members said Walt Packard resigned to a talk care of his sick wife. It later came out that the board pushed him out and hid that they agreed to pay him more than $200,000 to do nothing.

• The village of Lake in the Hills recently did something similar with longtime administrator Gerald Sagona. After saying Sagona resigned, it later came out that the Village Board arranged his exit after a near mutiny from Lake in the Hills staff members fed up with Sagona.

• Don’t get cute and try to skirt the rules. A McHenry County Board committee learned this the hard way during a redistricting meeting in 2011.

These actions erode confidence in local government. Get the training and be honest. You’ll save yourself and your community a lot of headaches and embarrassment. The public’s business should be conducted in public, and it will be one way or another.

Treat addiction as an illness

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Denial is a large part of addiction, and breaking through self-deception can be very difficult.

What’s true of people with substance use disorders also can be true of their communities.

Not only is it true of ours, the same rule applies to cities and towns across our country. Our community has a heroin and opioid painkiller problem. Denying that problem helps perpetuate it.

Breaking through our self-deception is difficult but necessary if we are to save the lives of our friends, family members and neighbors who have this disorder.

They are victims of an illness.

Yet we treat them differently.

If they were victims of some different illness, whether it was the flu or cancer, we’d offer to

watch their children, bake them casseroles, plan fundraising spaghetti dinners, set up GoFundMe campaigns. If they were victims of accidents – and most heroin addicts are victims of accidents – we would do all that and more.

But opioid addicts are victims of an illness we wrongly associate with criminality, and moral and mental weakness. So instead of lifting up its victims, we kick them down. Nobody chooses to become addicted to painkillers or heroin. Nobody sees it coming, and even if they do, it is no easier to prevent than a car crash once it is in motion.

We don’t punish people for illness. We don’t judge a person who has a sprained ankle. We don’t deny him employment or curtail his insurance coverage because he slipped on an icy sidewalk and twisted his ankle.

We don’t have elected leaders who promise us they can arrest and imprison our way out of our community’s sprained ankle problem.

Our human family is a blessing

To the Editor: In this world, it’s our job in building hope.

And like that of a business, it’s hard, but in the end we can either make it better or make it one step closer to its final end.

In this job, like that of a business, we can decide to either grow in hope and progress or we can protest in hate, division and violence, and further push back our production of hope away from our grasp.

Our judgment is this – every generation will be accountable of where it moves hope and where it doesn’t.

We live in this world to make a difference, and we die to leave an eternal flame that brightens the mystic chords of memory that inspires future generations to keep building on that hope.

Our job is to bring the human family together, to love one another and give it the peace and goodwill it deserves.

So let us see the human family for what it truly is – a blessing from God. Let us see that our unique differences as the vessel to steer its hope, for as JFK reminded, we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s futures, and we are all mortal.

In the end, regardless of our differenc-

VIEWS Rich Miller ing to support the state’s public higher education institutions.”

As you may know, Gov. Bruce Rauner and his legislative Republicans adamantly are opposed to another temporary stopgap budget that would use existing special state funds piling up in bank accounts to help out struggling universities, college students and human service providers and recipients.

Their argument is distributing the money would take the pressure off everyone to pass a real budget with the governor’s demanded reforms. At the same time, Rauner and GOP legislators want to take state employees out of the “pressure” equation with a continuing appropriation, which means those salaries essentially would be funded throughout eternity. But since the lack of funding for social services and higher education over the past two years hasn’t spurred anyone in Springfield to action, it might be that only an actual government shutdown after state employees can’t come to work will actually move the needle.

es hope is not a left/right agenda, it’s a human endeavor that only human beings can achieve together.

Cartoon wrong on guns

To the Editor: I find the editorial cartoon depicting a person writing on the chalk board “guns are bad” very biased. It is so very incorrect.

The gun is not bad. It is an inanimate object. The person who uses it in a bad way is bad, not the object. The object of destruction is never bad. It has no mind of its own. It is always under control of the person wielding it. Please stop perpetuating a lie. Focus on the bad people and how to change/control them. The problem is the user and the people who blame the object otherwise ban dishes and food as they are to blame for heart disease.

Insurance should cover abortions

To the Editor: I couldn’t disagree more with the sentiments expressed in “Letter: Stop Tax

“If state operating appropriations are received in fiscal 2017,” S&P declared in its SIU downgrade report, “we will incorporate the impact of those appropriations at that time,” suggesting that some money thrown at the universities via a stopgap plan could forestall another immediate ratings downgrade.

Junk status means many investment institutions, such as pension funds, cannot buy those bonds. So, while the state hobbles the universities by refusing to make full appropriations, it’s also undermining their ability to borrow at semi-reasonable rates. Speculators looking for relatively high returns on bonds that have to be repaid gladly will buy those bonds and rake in the dough. Meanwhile, precious dollars the universities cannot afford to spend have to be used to make higher interest payments. It’s a horrific fiscal cycle and, in our case, it’s completely man-made.

It could take our universities a decade or more to recover from these body blows. At the very least, we need a stopgap budget now and then a full, “real” budget before the beginning of next fiscal year.

The governor is running all over the state proclaiming to anyone who will

listen a deal is “very close.” He said at an Elk Grove Village event last week “a big comprehensive package” was being prepared. Democrats say they have no idea what he’s talking about.

Rauner had better be right because, even though the Democratic Party has its own dirty hands here, the governor is the state’s chief executive, so he will wear the jacket for failure. He’s come up with excuse after excuse for more than two years now for why he can’t get a budget passed, or even why he won’t propose his own balanced budget. No more. And if you dig a little deeper at those S&P reports, you’ll see the ratings agency had some very specific warnings for state government as well.

Illinois’ credit rating is just barely above junk status. And S&P warned in several of its downgrades the universities could be in for a “multinotch downgrade” if the state’s rating is lowered. Another downgrade report warned there was “at least a one-in-two likelihood of a rating change within the next 90 days,” more than implying action against the state’s credit rating could happen soon.

denied by Hyde are high: a woman who wants to get an abortion but is denied is more likely to fall into poverty than one who can get an abortion.

This legislation simply affirms something that women in Illinois already know: The legal right to an abortion is legal fiction if a woman can’t access and afford the care.

Whatever happens in the future – the right to abortion should be real for those in our state who already face too many barriers to care. I call that admirable and am grateful for our champions of health and women’s ability to make our own decisions.

Congratulations, everybody! Illinois now has five public universities with junk bond credit ratings. That has to be some kind of record.

Last week, S&P Global Ratings lowered the credit score of both Southern Illinois University and Western Illinois University into junk bond status. Eastern, Northeastern and Governor’s State already were in junk bond territory, and their ratings were lowered even further last week. The University of Illinois, the state’s flagship, also was downgraded to just three notches above junk status and, like all the other universities, put on a “credit watch with negative implications,” meaning it could be downgraded again within the next 90 days.

All of the downgrade reports noted that none of the universities have received any funds since their partial “stopgap” appropriation in June of last year. The reports also seemed to advocate for another stopgap funding bill this fiscal year.

For instance, while noting in the U. of I.’s report a stopgap had been passed last year to cover the first six months of this fiscal year, S&P went on to write: “the state has yet to pass a budget for fiscal 2017 and has not conclusively communicated plans for stop-gap fund-

Farmers fear deportation of workers

By ANDREW SELSKY The Associated Press

SALEM, Ore. – The head of Bethel Heights Vineyard looked out over the 100 acres of vines her crew of 20 Mexicans had just finished pruning, worried about what will happen if the Trump administration presses ahead with its crackdown on immigrants.

From tending the plants to harvesting the grapes, it takes skill and a strong work ethic to produce the winery’s pinot noir and chardonnay, and native-born Americans just aren’t willing to work that hard, Patricia Dudley said as a cold rain drenched the vineyard in the hills of Oregon.

“Who’s going to come out here and do this work when they deport them all?” she asked.

President Donald Trump’s hard line against immigrants in the U.S. illegally has sent a chill through the nation’s agricultural industry, which fears a crackdown will deprive it of the labor it needs to plant, grow and pick the crops that feed the country.

Fruit and vegetable growers, dairy and cattle farmers and owners of plant nurseries and vineyards have begun lobbying politicians at home and in Washington to get them to deal with immigration in a way that minimizes the harm to their livelihoods.

Some of the farm leaders are Republicans who voted for Trump and are torn, wanting border security but also mercy toward laborers who are not dangerous criminals.

Residents of the predominantly Latino town of Woodburn, Ore., meet March 1 to talk about increased detentions by federal immigration agents. The meeting was held in the offices of PCUN, a union that represents farm workers and others and that is housed in a former church.

Farming uses a higher percentage of illegal labor than any other U.S. industry, according to a Pew Research Center study.

Immigrants working illegally in this country accounted for about 46 percent of America’s roughly 800,000 crop farmworkers in recent years, according to an Associated Press analysis of data from the U.S. Departments of Labor and Agriculture.

Stepped-up deportations could carry “significant economic implications,”

a 2012 U.S. Department of Agriculture study said. If America’s unauthorized labor force shrank 40 percent, for example, vegetable production could drop by more than 4 percent, the study said.

The American Farm Bureau Federation said strict immigration enforcement would raise food prices 5 percent to 6 percent because of a drop in supply and because of the higher labor costs farmers could face.

In addition to proposing a wall at the Mexican border, Trump wants

to hire 10,000 more Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and has served notice that he intends to be more aggressive than the Obama administration in deporting immigrants.

ICE agents have arrested hundreds of immigrants since Trump took office, though how much of a change from the Obama administration that represents is a matter of debate.

Field hands have been among those targeted, with apple pickers detained in upstate New York and Guatemalans pulled over in Oregon on their way to a forest to pick a plant used in floral arrangements.

It doesn’t appear the arrests themselves have put a sizable dent in the agricultural workforce yet, but the fear is taking its toll.

Some workers in Oregon are leaving for job sites as early as 1 a.m. and staying away from check-cashing shops on payday to avoid dragnets. Farm employers are worried about losing their workforces.

“They say, ‘Don’t go out, don’t get drunk, don’t do nothing illegal’ because they need us too. They worry too,” said Moses Maldonado, who is in the U.S. illegally and has worked for nearly four decades tending wine grapes and picking fruit in Oregon.

When immigration attorney Sarah Loftin held a recent seminar in the Oregon wine-region town of Newberg to talk about immigrants’ legal rights, she was surprised to see about half of those present were winery owners or farmers.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 2017

NEW YORK – Caitlyn Jenner opened up Monday about her frank new memoir detailing her now 2-year-old transition and the bumps along the way, including her three failed marriages, thoughts of suicide while she was relentlessly pursued by paparazzi, and, finally, freedom to be her true self.

And, yes, contrary to the thoughts of many in the trans community, she uses her former name, Bruce, in the book, “The Secrets of My Life,” out this week. And, yes, she describes her liberating, below-the-belt gender reassignment surgery – “The Final Surgery” as she calls it – on the very last page, insisting it’s the last word for her about that.

Anthony Bourdain attends the Turner Network 2016 Upfronts on May 18 in New York. Bourdain has presented a documentary, “Wasted! The Story of Food Waste,” at the Tribeca Film Festival in which he argues passionately against the issue of food waste, from supermarkets to home cooking.

At Tribeca, Bourdain reluctantly plays the role of activist NEW YORK – Anthony Bourdain is not one for activism. Tattooed on his arm in Greek is “I am certain of nothing.”

But at the Tribeca Film Festival, Bourdain has, a little reluctantly, presented a documentary, “Wasted! The Story of Food Waste,” in which he argues passionately against the issue of food waste, from supermarkets to home cooking – even though advocacy of any kind makes him almost physically squeamish.

“Having traveled as much as I do, I constantly go into places thinking one thing only to be shown that I’m wrong and forced by circumstances and exposure to rethink whatever preconceptions I might have had,” Bourdain said in a recent interview. “Activism seems to require a level of certainty and dedication that I’m uncomfortable with. I’m a renter, not a buyer, when it comes to ideologies. I’m a skeptic. I believe very much in skepticism. I don’t ever want to look like a guy with an agenda.”

It’s not that Bourdain is apolitical. The countless meals shared on his years of TV, from “No Reservations” to the soon-returning “Parts Unknown,” are chiefly feasts – both through the food on the plate and the discussions held over them – of larger cultural conversation. Of the traditions kept alive by immigrants. Of the glories of street food. Of the simple power of breaking bread with people from all walks of life. But standing out front of an issue in today’s ethically charged food world is a step further for Bourdain. So what was it that lured him into combating food waste? A lifetime in which the cooking principle “use everything, waste nothing” was instilled in him, and driven deeper by “one brutal kitchen regime after another.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Gov. John Kasich’s new book, “Two Paths: America Divided or United,” provides a rare, and sometimes raw, behind-the-scenes look at being a 2016 presidential candidate.

The book, released Tuesday by Thomas Dunne Books, is roughly equal parts campaign-trail memoir, political biography and Kasich’s own self-help therapy session for living in a post-Donald Trump world.

Kasich, 64, expresses clear disappointment that his decades as a state legislator, congressman, business executive and governor failed to earn him the Republican Party’s nomination – especially over populist billionaire Donald Trump. Competing in the crowded and fractious field felt at times like “walking up a down elevator,” he wrote.

“I was astounded that politicians could say the kinds of things they were saying – crass, negative – and get away with it,” Kasich said. “I think everybody who has observed politics was stunned by it.”

O’Reilly, who exited Fox News amid sexual harassment allegations that he has denied, said he couldn’t add much more “because there’s so much stuff going on right now.”

“But I can tell you that I’m very confident the truth will come out, and when it does, I don’t know if you’re going to be surprised, but I think you’re going to be shaken, as I am,” said O’Reilly, who was Fox’s most popular and most lucrative personality.

More screen, elegance in Galaxy S8

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 phone is stunning. But its $100 price hike is hard to swallow.

That’s how much extra you’ll shell out for the S8, which started shipping Friday for about $750 – $100 more than the iPhone 7 and last year’s Galaxy S7 when it launched. A larger sibling, the S8 Plus, goes for about $850.

True, the S8 phones come with several refinements that, totaled up, are indeed worth more than $100. But it’s hard to recommend an all-frills phone when many cheaper phones do just fine.

The S8 is for those who want elegance – and are willing to pay for it.

Screens to the edge

After spontaneous fires that forced the recall of the Galaxy Note 7 , Samsung is playing it safe on the battery and subjecting the S8 to tighter inspections.

Instead, it’s pushing the boundaries – so to speak – on the phone’s display.

Samsung minimized the phone frame and got rid of a physical home button to free up space for an “infinity display,” a screen that seems to flow right into the phone’s curved left and right sides.

The 5.8-inch S8 and the 6.2-inch S8 Plus both have nearly 15 percent more display space than last year’s comparable models. But the phones themselves aren’t wider. In fact, the phones feel more comfortable thanks to sides that curve around to the back; last year’s curved S7 Edge model feels boxy by comparison.

The bigger screen fits more lines of text, but doesn’t necessarily make video more immersive. While video on YouTube and Facebook gets automatically adjusted to fill the space, Netflix and Hulu movies just leave wasted black space on all four sides. You can tinker with that manually – but for $100, you shouldn’t have to.

All about the battery

The S8 and S8 Plus have more physical space inside, but Samsung used it to give the battery more breathing room while keeping its capacity roughly the same as last year.

Although a larger display drains the battery faster, my tests of streaming video found the new phones consumed power more slowly than last year’s models. And even with constant use – taking photos, watching video and playing music and podcasts – the new phones still made it to bedtime with power to spare. Samsung credits software and chip improvements.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and headphones are displayed April 17 in New York. Samsung minimized the phone frame and got rid of a physical home button to free up space for an “infinity display,” a screen that seems to flow right into the phone’s curved sides.

Tests find Samsung’s S8 phones more prone to screen cracks NEW YORK (AP) – Samsung’s latest phones appear to break more easily, according to tests run by SquareTrade, a company that sells gadget-repair plans.

The nearly all-glass design of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus makes them beautiful, SquareTrade said, but also “extremely susceptible to cracking when dropped from any angle.”

Samsung had no comment.

SquareTrade said Monday that cracks appeared on screens of both the S8 and S8 Plus after just one face-down drop onto a sidewalk from six feet. The phones had similar problems when dropped on the backs and sides. Unsurprisingly, both models did well in water-drop tests. The phones had some audio distortion, but that is typical and temporary.

Unlocking the phones

Like the doomed Note 7, the S8 has an iris scanner to let you unlock the phone by looking at it – at least in theory. But you have to swipe the screen first and position it from your face at just the right distance.

I’m sure Samsung, a South Korean company, meant no offense, yet I was ticked off when the phone instructed me, an Asian-American, to “open eyes fully.” Oh, and the scanner doesn’t work if you’re wearing glasses.

The fingerprint scanner was faster and more convenient for unlocking the phone. But you have to be careful not

to smudge the adjacent camera lens by mistake now that the scanner has been moved to the back.

Fire the assistant

Samsung is introducing a digital assistant called Bixby, but voice features intended to rival Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri aren’t ready yet. (Voice dictation does work with a reminder feature, though.)

Bixby also will highlight appointments, trending stories and app suggestions, much as existing features on iPhones and other Android phones already offer.

Calculating the value

Samsung throws in a pair of AKG premium headphones, valued at about $100. My ears weren’t good enough to discern a difference, but it’s nice to get headphones when many phone makers have stopped including them. The phone also comes with 64 gigabytes of storage, which frequently jacks up the price of other phones by $100. Those curved edges? Those also previously cost an extra $100.

The S8 seems like a bargain for only $100 over the S7 at launch.

But do you really need these goodies?

The main camera on the S8 is about the same as last year’s, so you still can get amazing photos with the S7. (You can pick one up these days for as little as $576.)

There’s speculation Apple will come out with a pricier, feature-rich iPhone for its 10th anniversary this year – but it’s expected to update the existing iPhone 7 line as well. Those who can’t live with yesterday’s technology won’t be disappointed with the S8. But for everyone else, Samsung also could have offered a lower-priced alternative with fewer goodies.

Weekly videos

In addition to posting photos, Camp Fitch in North Springfield, Pennsylvania, creates weekly videos for parents.

The videos also allow campers to relive the fun times later, and they provide an opportunity for the camp to reach new audiences, said Matt Pose, executive director.

While photos occasionally lead to a parent calling because their youngster looks “mopey,” they typically have a reassuring and positive effect, he said.

Parents can see their kids trying new things and making new friends.

“The upside is parents feel a lot more engaged in the experience and become even more evangelical” about the benefits of camp, he said.

One-way email

Tanya Hummels never sent her three children care packages or letters while they were at Camp Tecumseh, in Brookston, Indiana, but she regularly emailed them. Many camps encourage letter-writing by parents but do allow them to send emails, which are printed out and delivered to campers once a day. If kids want to write back, however, they usually must rely on pencils, paper and stamps – although some camps will scan handwritten letters and email them to parents.

Hummels liked the ease of composing a few lines each morning on email with tidbits about the family pet or updates on sports news.

“The kids said they always looked forward to it,” said Hummels of West Lafayette, Indiana. “It was a little dose of home.”

Staying connected

Hummels’ daughter Abby never objected to leaving her phone at home, but did insist that her mom bring it on pickup day so she could add new friends’ contact information.

Abby and her camp friends have arranged several reunions and visits outside of camp. The friendships would not be as close if it weren’t for technology, said Abby, who started going to sleepaway at age 8 and is now 17.

After booking her week at Camp Fitch, 14-year-old Eleanor Ziance of Bexley, Ohio, shared the information on her social media channels to see who would be there at the same time.

That laid the foundation for new relationships and made her look forward to camp even more, she said.

Poese, Fitch’s director, said that ability to connect to fellow campers year-round solidifies friendships and the connection to camp.

Visit the eye doctor instead of buying drugstore readers Dear Doctors: About a year ago, when I turned 44, I started using reading glasses I bought at the drugstore. They seemed to work just fine. Now I need a stronger pair, and I wonder whether using them has weakened my eyes.

Dear Reader: We’re happy to reassure you that using over-the-counter readers – or any kind of corrective lenses, for that matter – will not weaken or damage your eyesight.

However, you finding the need to move to a higher level of magnification does indicate your vision is changing. And considering that many adults begin to experience changes to their ability to see clearly at close range after age 40, it’s not all that surprising.

This change in close focus is known as presbyopia, which occurs when the lens within your eye gradually becomes less flexible. This is believed to be the result of age-related changes to the proteins within the natural lens in the eye, and to the tissues of the surrounding muscles that cause the lens to focus. The loss in flexibility to the natural lens results in blurred vision when doing close-focus activities such as reading.

While you certainly could opt to buy a new pair of drugstore reading glasses with a higher level of magnification, we recommend you use this shift in vision as an opportunity to visit an eye care professional.

One-size-fits-all reading glasses are certainly affordable, and a quick trip to the store is more convenient than a medical appointment. But chances are the generic readers will not correct your eyesight to the highest level of accuracy. That’s because, for most of us, the prescription in each eye is at least slightly different. Many individuals also have a small amount of astigmatism correction in

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier their prescriptions, too. Wearing the wrong glasses can lead to headache and fatigue as your eyes strain to achieve optimal focus.

A comprehensive eye exam not only yields a corrective prescription tailored to your specific needs, it also includes several other tests to detect vision problems, assess eye health and screen for eye disease. For example, your optometrist will use special drops to dilate your pupil and examine the important tissues at the back of the eye, including the retina, the macula and the optic nerve. A test of the pressure within the eye, known as tonometry, screens for glaucoma.

If you already wear glasses to correct farsightedness, you have the option of blending the two prescriptions in a pair of bifocals, trifocals or progressive lenses. A pair of multivision glasses for life on the go, and a pair of reading glasses for sustained close work, will give you the best of both worlds. If you prefer contact lenses, multifocal contacts correct near, intermediate and far vision.

Age-related changes to vision, once begun, will continue. However, these changes can occur so gradually they may be difficult to notice. That’s why it’s important to schedule regular eye exams and safeguard your vision.

yes. The problem with passive aggression is the problem never gets resolved. If you feel you have too much on your shoulders, tell your husband how you are feeling so he can either help you with the chores, or hire someone to do the yard work and some of the cleaning.

Dear Abby: I love helping others, but I’m ready to quit every volunteer job I have. I’m tired of people who are not volunteers telling me I am doing my job wrong.

When you volunteer, you are given training on how to do your job. You drive to the site using your own gas, spend your time helping others, and a lot of times you spend your own money to obtain the supplies you need to do the job. I could be spending my time – and resources – doing things such as shopping or getting my nails done.

Volunteers don’t want to do all of that only to hear how we’re not doing the job right, suggestions on how to do it better or complaints that we didn’t do enough. I am so sick of people who delight in telling you you’re not doing enough.

I can’t save the world, but I can help one person each day. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. – Sounding Off In Texas Dear Sounding Off: You’re welcome. That’s what I’m here for. I hope writing this has made you feel better. Now get back to work, because what you do is important.

Dear Abby: I am tattooed. I started getting inked when I was 22. I am now 31.

Recently, I decided to get an extensive design on my left arm. It will take four sessions to complete.

The first session is scheduled on a Tuesday, not normally my day off. I can use PTO hours to cover it, but what do I say when – and if – management notices my ink, puts two and two together, and realizes I took time off for this? – Inked In Indiana Dear Inked: If that happens, you should tell the truth – that you took PTO for a personal errand. That’s what personal/paid time off is for.

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY husband decided to buy a house.

Jeanne I never wanted Phillips one, and now I’m depressed.

I am thankful my husband provides for the family and puts a roof over our heads, but now that we are in our house, my days are spent doing chores, yard work, and cleaning, cleaning and cleaning.

This is why I never wanted the responsibility of a house. I don’t have time for my family because I’m so busy maintaining this house I never wanted.

I have been distant from my husband because I secretly despise him for putting me in this position when he knew it wasn’t what I wanted. Am I being selfish? – Don’t Want The

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Stick to what you know and do best.

Taking on too much or trying to deal with tasks you know little about will be a waste of time. Dig in and make the most of your time and skills. Hard work will bring you the appreciation you desire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Apply what you know to something that you find interesting, enjoyable and motivating. It will make your chores easier if you have something to look forward to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get together with people who have something to offer. Share your thoughts and consider what’s doable. Don’t overstep your bounds. Stay focused and make

the most of what you’ve got.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your emotions will take control if you let a partner, domestic issue or child get the upper hand. Don’t feel obliged or let anyone guilt you into making a snap decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take a close look at your professional position and potential advancement. Network at industry events and think about the newest trends. Keep up with the latest technology, reports and discoveries.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Taking a short trip or attending a seminar or meeting that can provide you with information that is pertinent to something you want to pursue will help you avoid making a mistake.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Partnerships will go

through an adjustment. Be ready with alternative suggestions to avoid being railroaded into something you don’t like. Ask a friend or relative to help resolve a dispute.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An intense push to get things done will pay off professionally, but will also challenge you physically. Take time to rejuvenate to avoid health issues that interfere with your progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Personal problems should be dealt with quickly. The more you ignore an uncomfortable situation, the worse it will become. Do what needs to be done and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Too much of anything will work against you. Keep your distance from people who are unpredictable, inconsistent

or emotionally unstable. Concentrate on your appearance and physical well-being.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A financial proposal should be considered carefully. Taking baby steps to reach your goal will work out better than stretching your budget. Dealing with institutions or government agencies will lead to trouble.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll be faced with decisions that can challenge you physically or wreak havoc on your reputation. When in doubt, slow down and weigh the pros and cons.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t take on too much or get involved in something that has the potential to upset your relationship with a personal or professional partner. Moderation will be necessary to avoid conflicts.

POLISH LADY Will Clean Your Home/Office

FREE ESTIMATES, Great Ref. 224-858-4515 Nancy Astor, England’s first female member of parliament, said, “The penalty of success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you.”

The penalty of the negative double is: How do you make a penalty double?

Look at the West hand. After partner opens one diamond and South overcalls one spade, West would love to double for penalty. But double would show four hearts.

West must pass, preferably with no noticeable hesitation. He must not turn to South and ask, “Did you really bid spades?”

After West and North pass, East should reopen with a takeout double. Then West can pass again, converting his partner’s takeout double into one for penalty.

How does one spade doubled fare?

West leads his singleton club, East wins with the ace and returns the eight, his highest asking for a heart return, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits. When West returns the heart two, the low card guarantees at least one honor in the suit, which must be the king. So East wins with the heart queen and gives his partner another club ruff. Back in with the heart ace, East leads a third club for West to ruff. Still to come are one diamond and three trump tricks, leaving the contract down four, minus 1,100!

Yes, perhaps North should not have passed throughout. After West’s second pass, probably North should have risked an SOS redouble. Then the final contract would likely have been two clubs doubled, which escapes for down one, or, if East-West immediately play trumps, down two.

In theory, East-West’s only game is four spades!

What to watch MLB: Cubs at Pittsburgh, 6 p.m., WGN The Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks (1-1, 6.19 ERA) faces the Pirates’ Gerrit Cole (1-2, 4.70) in the middle of a three-game series.

McHENRY – For a moment, time stood still.

McHenry’s Alyssa Pearson rocketed a fastball into right field, and the ball hit the top of the outfield fence and ricocheted straight into the air. As the ball came down, one couldn’t tell whether it would fall beyond the fence for a home run or back into the field of play as a live ball.

A home run would have given McHenry the lead in the sixth inning.

Instead, the ball landed in play, and it went down as a long single.

It didn’t matter for the Warriors because Pearson’s single ended up leading to the game-winning run – scored by courtesy runner Ashley Dehmlow – on a wild pitch in an 8-7 McHenry win over Jacobs on Monday in Fox Valley Conference action.

“I really wanted to make contact with the ball,” Pearson said. “That hit the top of the fence, and I just put my head down and ran.”

Designated player Mannon Amelio drove in the runner ahead of Dehmlow on a groundout to tie the score, 7-7, while Dehmlow advanced to third.

McHenry coach John DiFrancesca said he wanted to be aggressive in that position.

“I wanted to put the pressure on them,” DiFrancesca said. “Ashley is a really good base runner. She’s smart; she understands the situation.”

A pitch from Jacobs pitcher Savannah Svedman skidded in the dirt to the backstop, and Dehmlow scored standing up.

It marked the second time in the game McHenry came from behind to grab a lead. Jacobs jumped out to a 3-0 lead, highlighted by leadoff hitter Kerri Healy’s solo home run in the third.

The Warriors (7-9, 3-4 FVC) scored five runs in the fourth to take the lead, including a two-run single from Tiffany Kirk.

Taelor Schmitz hit an infield single in the inning and finished 2 for 4 with a double and two runs.

McHenry picked up one run in the fifth after Schmitz hit her double. Then came the two runs in the sixth to take the lead.

“Emotionally, when Jacobs takes the lead like that, especially late in the game, that’s hard to come back from,” DiFrancesca said. “But they didn’t skip a beat. You could hear it in the dugout.”

Lindsey Ciesla started the game in the circle for McHenry, but it was Pearson who earned the win in relief.

Pearson threw two innings and allowed one hit. She also went 2 for 4 with two singles.

GIRLS SOCCER: MARIAN CENTRAL 1, MARIST 0

Marian wins 3rd straight, climbs to 2-1 in ESCC

Not only did Sutherland single-handedly thwart several Marist corner kicks, she also spurred a pair of odd-man rushes in transition that almost resulted in goals, thanks to her pinpoint passing.

q THE NUMBER

43

Minutes the Hurricanes held Marist without a shot on goal to start the match

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Although she didn’t have a goal or an assist, the hustle of Marian Central senior Karlie Blaz stood out. Her defensive efforts near midfield were often well-timed and seemed to routinely frustrate and stall Marist’s offensive momentum. sure at both ends of the field and didn’t allow the RedHawks to record a shot on goal until the game’s 43rd minute.

“We’ve been playing pretty good soccer against good soccer teams lately,” Hurricanes coach Karl Smith said.

“But the thing that’s really made a difference the past several games has

been our defense and our defensive intensity.

“Earlier in the season, we were making mistakes that turned into goals in the back of our net. We’ve really clamped down – not just our defensemen, but our forwards, too – and the results have kind of spoken for themselves. The more defending we do with our forwards on the front end, the less our defense has to do on the back end. Today, we did a real nice job of not letting Marist get the ball deep in our zone.”

When Marist did get the ball deep, the Hurricanes seemed to have an answer every time. Marian junior defender Alyssa Sutherland stood out with her relentless effort, blocking several shots. She even headed a pair of firsthalf corner kicks out of danger in front of goalkeeper Mackenzie Schwalbach, who wasn’t tested often, stopping both shots she faced.

“We’re gaining confidence fast,” Sutherland said. “As a team, we’ve realized even though most of us have experience from last year’s run to state, that’s in the past. But I definitely think we have the talent to make another run if we keep playing the way we have been. We’re starting to turn a

corner, I think.”

The only goal came on an indirect free kick just five minutes in. Junior Addison Fortin buried a shot from the top of the goalie box into the lower left corner past Marist goalkeeper Cassandra Eraci, who stopped eight of the nine shots she saw.

“I just saw [Cassandra] was a little bit more to one side of the net, so I instinctively tried to go low left, and it worked,” Fortin said.

Offense is the one area the Hurricanes know they will have to improve upon if they hope to elevate their game to the next level.

“That’s been our sore spot,” Smith said. “We’ve cleaned up most of our defensive miscues. We just haven’t been scoring. We generated a whole bunch of quality chances today, so I’m encouraged by that. Now, we just need to find ways to finish those opportunities.”

“Anytime you win a game in this conference, it’s a big deal. There aren’t many blowouts in the ESCC, and every win seems like it’s one you really have to earn. I felt we earned this one through hard work, hustle and determination against a pretty good soccer team. Hopefully, it’s a sign of things to come.”

BASEBALL: BURLINGTON CENTRAL 17, WOODSTOCK NORTH 6

Thunder keep it close until 7th in KRC loss

By JOE STEVENSON

joestevenson@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock North had struggled to generate much offense against Burlington Central after taking advantage of two Rockets errors in a sixrun second inning.

Still, the Thunder trailed by only one run entering the seventh inning. Hopes were high that North might hold Burlington one more inning, then push a couple of runs across to hand the Rockets their first Kishwaukee River Conference loss.

Not long into the seventh inning, Burlington quashed those thoughts.

Three of the first five Rockets to bat doubled. The Thunder’s Zach Johnson, who started the game at catcher and had battled through three scoreless relief innings on the mound, grew fatigued. The defense added to the misery with four errors.

Burlington scored 10 times in the top of the seventh to hand North a 17-6 loss in their KRC baseball game Monday, the first of this week’s three-game series.

Unearned runs scored by Burlington in the top of the seventh inning when it put up 10 runs

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

There was a break in the game in the third inning when Thunder sophomore left fielder Matt Stevens trotted into the dugout with a nosebleed. He had not been involved with any plays in the field that inning. A few minutes later, with help from North trainer Maggie Heldt. Stevens was back in left field, and he finished the game with cotton balls stuffed in his nostril to control the bleeding.

“We always think we have a chance,

especially going down by one in the seventh,” Johnson said. “We’ve had success in the seventh winning games, and I had no doubt we could come back, hopefully get a 1-2-3 inning and get our bats up and win. I guess that’s just not how it went.”

Thunder shortstop Nate Harris shared similar sentiments.

“We’ve been in a lot of close games this year,” Harris said. “We’re a battling team and we usually just fight it out. Zach pitched really, really well and we thought we could win, but a lot of errors gets a lot of runs in. We need to nail those down and take care of those plays.”

North (13-5, 7-3 KRC) fell behind early but came up big in the second inning, thanks to a pair of errors. Cory Busse and Jake Glaves each had two-RBI singles in that inning, Glaves as the first batter to face left-handed reliever Kyle Hresil.

From that point on, Hresil proved unyielding. He went 41/3 innings, struck out six, didn’t walk a batter and allowed four hits.

“We just missed having the key hit when we had guys on in the early innings,” Thunder coach John Oslovich said. “That came back to bite us when we couldn’t do anything off their pitchers in the end. [Hresil] was able to throw all his pitches for strikes. He worked backward, throwing his offspeed pitches in what we would expect to be fastball counts.”

Burlington (14-3, 6-0) did not manage much off Johnson after he relieved starter Dain Glaves. Johnson used the first three innings catching to his advantage. He felt the Rockets had trouble with breaking pitches, so he relied heavily on those and kept the score at 7-6 going into the seventh.

“He had command of all his pitches, and that was good,” Oslovich said.

“When we started to extend him, he got a little fatigued. He started missing his location and they hit his mistake pitches.”

Jake Glaves and Matt Stevens each had two hits for the Thunder. Rockets leadoff man Clay Milas was 3 for 5 with a pair of doubles and four RBIs.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Last spring, the Marian Central girls soccer team made a valiant postseason run and wound up finishing as the Class 1A state runner-up.

As a result, expectations were large headed into this season, especially given the fact the Hurricanes lost only a few key members of their roster from a year ago.

However, the Hurricanes got a wake-up call when they won only two of their first eight games to start 2017.

But since then, they’ve won three straight, including an impressive 1-0 East Suburban Catholic Conference victory over Marist on Monday at McHenry County College.

Sophomore Priester commits to TCU

By SEAN HAMMOND

shammond@shawmedia.com The College World Series is on Quinn Priester’s list of goals.

The Cary-Grove sophomore right-handed pitcher put himself in a good position to someday reach Omaha when he committed to play college baseball at TCU on Monday.

The Horned Frogs have reached college baseball’s biggest stage each of the past three seasons and four times since 2010.

“The chance to compete in Omaha is a goal of mine, and I feel like TCU really gives me a chance to do that,” Priester said.

Priester announced his commitment on Twitter after visiting the Fort Worth, Texas, campus over the week-

end. TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle is in his 14th season in charge and has the Horned Frogs at 30-8 this year, ranked No. 5 in the country.

Priester chose TCU over offers from Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Northwestern and Notre Quinn Priester Dame.

“I really love the relationship I have with the coaches,” Priester said.

“Coach Schlossnagle has really built that program from the ground up. I know his whole heart is into it. I love what they’ve got going and the success they’ve had. I really want to be a part of that.”

Priester still has 21/2 seasons of high

school ball to play. He is 3-1 with a 0.27 ERA in 26 innings pitched so far this season. He has allowed eight hits and five runs, only one earned run.

Priester has struck out 39 batters and walked 11.

The 6-foot-3, 181-pounder has topped out his fastball at 93 mph. He said in a game his fastball typically ranges anywhere from 88 to 91 mph.

Priester, who also plays quarterback for the football team, said football strength and conditioning has helped his arm strength.

“I feel like I’m a good competitor,” Priester said. “That’s one of my better qualities. I’m fortunate that I’m able to throw the ball hard.”

Priester is one of 108 players across the country chosen for the USA Baseball Tournament of Stars. From that

pool of players, the USA 18U National Team will be selected this summer in Cary, North Carolina.

Priester has not decided what he will study in college, but he is considering business and marketing.

He received his first college scholarship offer from Northwestern last summer after his freshman baseball season. TCU coaches first starting talking to him after a showcase in July at Illinois-Chicago.

“It just felt right,” Priester said of his decision. “I did not want to rush myself. My parents really helped me on this. They’re there for me, and they wanted to make sure that I didn’t jump into anything. You see players my age committing, and it’s pretty early. We wanted to make sure it was the right decision.”

Morgan Haefling had a pair of hits, an RBI and a run for the Whip-Purs, while Melissa Esparaza and Jasmine Lopez also recorded hits.

Lopez got the win for Hampshire, pitching five innings, scattering seven hits. Lopez allowed two earned runs while striking out four and walking none. Katie Del Re closed out the final two innings.

Cary-Grove was led by Alina Krembuszewski and Emma Hill, who each had two hits.

Taylor Langguth took the loss.

Alden-Hebron 16, Harvard 6 (5 inn.): At Hebron, Zoe Derringer pitched a complete game to pick up the win and contributed a double, a home run and two RBIs at the plate as the Giants (7-12) beat the Hornets (1-14) in a nonconference game. Derringer struck out five in five innings, allowing six runs.

Lexi Morris led the Alden-Hebron offense, going 4 for 4 with five RBIs and a run scored.

St. Francis 8, Marian Central 1: At Woodstock, Ryan Klinger had two hits and an RBI to lead the Hurricanes (5-5) in a nonconference loss. Maggie Finnegan added a double and scored the Hurricanes’ only run. Starting pitcher Jamie Gatz took the loss, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks in four innings before turning it

out that Rondo injured his thumb late in the Game 2 win and could miss the entire series.

The domino effect was quick, as Hoiberg went with Jerian Grant in the starting lineup in Game 3, stuck with him early on in Game 4, before being reminded yet again just how flawed the construction of this roster has been by his own front office.

Grant was pulled in less than five minutes, Michael Carter-Williams lasted about five minutes, and then Hoiberg finally turned to the seldom-used Canaan to try to slow down Boston All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas.

Canaan actually had some good moments, and with the series tied, 2-2, will get a chance to help save the Bulls’ postseason.

No easy task, and one possibly made more difficult in the wake of Hoiberg calling out the officials for what he feels has been overlooking how often Thomas

carries the ball on his dribble.

The coach did not hear from the league for comments yet but knows that there have some that were turned off by what he said, especially considering Thomas lost his sister in a car accident right before the playoffs started.

Hoiberg addressed that Monday, as well, pointing out that insensitivity was not the intent.

“I’m a huge Isaiah Thomas fan,” Hoiberg said. “I think the world of the kid, especially what he’s going through now, how he’s fought through that and, like I said last night, he’s a warrior to go out there and do what he’s done so far in this series.

“He’s again a guy I think a lot of people root for because of the chip on his shoulder he plays with. He was the last pick in the draft, and now he’s a guy you’d argue could be in the MVP race. So I’m a huge fan of him. I said what I said, and I’m done talking about it.”

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

Atlanta evens series against Washington The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Paul Millsap bounced back from a sluggish start to score 19 points, Dwight Howard had his best game of the postseason, and the Atlanta Hawks pulled away from the Washington Wizards, 111101, Monday night to even the opening-round playoff series at 2-all.

The Hawks got double-figure scoring from seven players, including huge contributions off the bench from Kent Bazemore and Jose Calderon.

Bradley Beal scored 32 points, bouncing back from a dismal performance in Game 3, and John Wall had another strong performance with 22 points and 10 assists.

CHICAGO – The cast was off the right wrist of Rajon Rondo on Monday.

The concerns with the Bulls’ point guard problems, however, haven’t gone anywhere.

Coach Fred Hoiberg quickly put a damper on a possible Rondo return for at least Game 5, pointing out that the fractured right thumb was still in a splint.

He even named the team’s third different starting point guard of the best-ofseven series, giving Isaiah Canaan the nod.

Yeah, that Isaiah Canaan.

The one who played in only 14 games since Dec. 21 and has been the poster boy for the team’s witness protection program that has seen several players disappear for long periods of time throughout this season.

“It really tests your mental part of

basketball,” Canaan said, admitting that there’s times where it’s hard not to take it personal and have a growing dislike for one’s standing in the organization. “I mean as basketball players, our job is to go out there and play whenever it may be. It may be the first 10 games of the season, it may be the last 10 Isaiah Canaan games of the season.

“Throughout the season, you just wonder when that opportunity is going to come. I believe everything happens for a reason. You never can see what it may be, from going from not playing for the second half of the season mostly to playing in the most crucial time of the season in the playoffs.’’

“Crucial’’ is a good way to sum it up.

The Bulls jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the top-seeded Celtics, only to find

It was only the second career win in Thunder Valley for Johnson, who considers it one of his most vexing tracks.

His Hendrick Motorsports team hit on something during Saturday’s practice for his Chevrolet, and that locked him in for the race postponed a day by rain.

“This track has been really difficult,” admitted Johnson, who last won at Bristol in 2007. But that Saturday find was “honestly, it’s what I’ve been looking for for 16 years.”

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks fired assistant coach Mike Kitchen.

Kitchen joined coach Joel Quenneville’s staff in July 2010. He helped the Hawks win the Stanley Cup in 2013 and 2015.

The team announced the move Monday.

General manager Stan Bowman said in a release they “believe this decision is best for our organization moving forward.”

CHICAGO – The White Sox pitcher of the month? It has to be right-hander Miguel Gonzalez, who pitched eight innings of one-run ball in the White Sox’s 12-1 rout of the Royals on Monday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The run allowed was unearned, and Gonzalez allowed two hits – one on an excuse-me check swing by Alex Gordon.

He struck out five and walked one.

Of the six hits allowed by the 32-yearold Gonzalez in his past two starts, five were of the infield variety. He retired 17 of the last 18 batters he faced Monday, improved to 3-0 and lowered his ERA to 2.00.

Gonzalez has been good before April, as well. In his past 17 starts dating to July 1 of last season, he owns a 2.53 ERA. Gonzalez threw 105 pitches, 73 for strikes.

The Sox signed Gonzalez to a minor league deal before Opening Day last season after the Orioles released him.

Heyward, Cubs continue to sizzle

By WILL GRAVES

CUBS 14, PIRATES 3

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Jason Heyward is getting tired of talking about his rebuilt swing. Considering what the Cubs center fielder is doing at the plate these days, the conversation soon will flip from his new-look swing to the results.

Heyward hit his third home run in four days, a sizzling line drive to right-center off Pittsburgh’s Chad Kuhl in the first inning to set the tone in a lopsided 14-3 victory for the suddenly hot Cubs on Monday night. Heyward added an RBI on a groundout during the Cubs’ five-run second inning as the defending World Series champions won for the fifth time in six games.

A year after he hit just .230 while managing just seven home runs and 49 RBIs, Heyward is at .294 with three home runs and 16 RBIs in 18 games so far in 2017.

“I’ve been there before,” Heyward said. “Had a down year before, didn’t go exactly how I wanted. Had to put some work in and come back. It’s great to see.

It’s not over. I’m not looking at it that way.”

Addison Russell had a career-high four hits for the Cubs, who set a season-high total for runs and tied their season-high total with 17 hits. A little more than two years after going 0-5 in

“I just put it in play and see where it goes,” Russell said. “It’s working out.

Seems like a pretty easy approach.”

Ben Zobrist added three RBIs for the Cubs. Kris Bryant and Miguel Montero

had three hits apiece, and Kyle Schwarber had two hits. Anthony Rizzo’s hitting streak was snapped at 12 games.

Cubs’ lack of quality starts becomes concern

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com The early hand-wringing about the Cubs centered on the bullpen and the lack of hitting.

Something else is jumping off the page now, and it could be cause for concern down the line: the lack of quality starts.

The Cubs entered Monday night’s series opener at Pittsburgh with twice as many nonquality starts as quality starts, 12-6.

That difference improved to 12-7, as Brett Anderson worked six innings and gave up one earned run (of three total) in a 14-3 victory over the Pirates at PNC Park. The Cubs heavily supported Anderson with four runs in the first inning, five in the second and one in the third.

It was the first quality start by a Cubs pitcher since Jon Lester pitched

seven innings of shutout ball April 16.

After that, the Cubs went six straight games without a quality start.

A quality start happens when a pitcher works at least six innings and gives up no more than three earned runs. The minimum standard computes to an ERA of 4.50, but most quality starts are much better than that. Last year, the Cubs received 100 quality starts.

The team went 74-26 in those games, and the starters’ ERA was 1.47.

In the 61 nonquality starts turned in by Cubs pitchers, the world-championship team went 29-32, the starters posting an ERA of 6.26.

By the 19th game of the season last year, the Cubs had gotten 16 quality starts, with their starters having thrown 108 innings in those games.

In the seven quality starts the Cubs have gotten this year in 19 games, the starters have thrown 44 innings.

By lagging well behind on quality starts compared with last year, the Cubs risk overtaxing their bullpen.

The team opened the season with a 12-man pitching staff, with seven relievers. The mid-April activation of Brian Duensing off the disabled list increased the staff to 13 pitchers, eight relievers.

That should help spread the workload among the relievers a little better, but having a 13-man pitching staff makes for a short bench, and that could hamper manager Joe Maddon late in games.

The Cubs haven’t fared poorly during games in which they didn’t get a quality start, going 6-6. But when teams are winning games in which they didn’t get a quality start, it means they hit enough to overcome the starts. That’s not going to happen every day.

The sample sizes are still small,

and the Cubs do have some depth with Mike Montgomery. He could be stretched out to start if needed, either to replace one of the five starters in the rotation now or to be the sixth man when Maddon decides to go that route, which he’s fond of doing during busy stretches of the schedule.

The simple math of quality starts is that teams, even bad teams, win the majority of games when they get them and don’t win the majority of games when they’re not getting them.

We’ll see how the trend develops over the next two or so months leading up to the all-star break and the July 31 nonwaiver trading deadline. The trend or trends may determine whether the Cubs seek additional pitching help via trade on or before July 31.
